[pct-l] Bear encounter before Kennedy Meadows

[AsABat]

>From the picture it's hard to tell, is that a brand name Kevlar bag or something homemade? It looks like the bear went in through the side fabric and not a seem or the top opening where failures are more likely.

(I'm trying to avoid saying the brand without knowing for sure as they have enough trouble.)

We encountered a problem bear while camped just before Kennedy Meadows
(mile 684.75). Many other hikers have seen bears in the area. We recommend
carrying a bear can starting in Tehachapi/Mojave.
